This game needs no introduction. If Wolfenstein 3D opened the door to First-person shooters, and Doom opened the door, then Duke Nukem 3D blew it off of it's hinges. This is the first FPS I remember playing when I was a wee lad where the main character had personality and memorable "one-liners"...not to mention the whole 'giving money to strippers' thing being quite a big deal when this first came out. If you don't already have this, what are you waiting for?? It's hard to top something like this classic for $6. BUY IT NOW!
Amazing, classic, action-packed Build-engine powered shooter with a unique charm and sense of humor. One of my all-time favorite PC games in ANY genre! The original game starts with aliens from outer space invading the small backwater town of Hickston to clone it's inhabitants and, in the process, steal Leonard and Bubba's prize pig, Bessie. Subsequent chapters revolve around Leonard and Bubba trying to find their way back home through various locales fighting through old enemies...and a few new ones too! Health kits have been replaced with bags of pork rinds, moon pies, 6-packs of beer, and cheap whiskey. Drinking a bit can steady your aim, but don't drink too much! You'll find it very hard to see, walk straight, and shoot enemies! Taking the occasional leak or screaming "Yeehaw!" restores a little bit of health, and did I mention weapons such as a ripsaw that can bounce circular saws off walls, and a crossbow that fires dynamite and/or chickens?? If you love classic shooters such as Doom, Quake, Rise of the Triad, Dark Forces, Blood, Shadow Warrior, and *especially* Duke Nukem 3D, you will absolutely love Redneck Rampage! I remember back about 10 years ago paying $35 for JUST THE FIRST GAME, and loving it to pieces, and the entire collection of all three games is here for only $5.99!! That's highway robbery! (And yes, it works great in Vista. I just spent the last hour or so playing around with all three games, and have no issues!) As stated before, if you're a classic 90's DOS shooter fan, and don't take the game too seriously, you'll love it. Buy it now!
More like Life of Frustration. How this game gets positive reviews blows my mind. Imagine Quake on Nightmare difficulty with some curse words thrown in frequently. Now, give the game a weaker plot and strip out any minuscule amount of fun Quake actually has. That's Kingpin. I spent a few hours with this over the course of the last couple days, so if this comes off as a meaningless rant, it's not. I really tried to like this game somehow, but just couldn't. How in the world did Xatrix Entertainment go from Redneck Rampage, one of my beloved classic shooters, to THIS? I'm sure the graphics were great for the time, and interacting with NPCs with a "positive" or "negative" response was new at the time, but this entire game just screams dull. Best of luck trying to kill one person in this game without dying or, if you're incredibly lucky, having a scrap of health left. You start out beaten to a pulp with a measly small lead pipe, but acquire a pistol early on. I even found enough money to upgrade it, and I STILL couldn't kill another person with a gun without dying. It's like an average joe taking on a few fully armed navy seals in a dark alley. I've literally shot people a dozen times while they still ran around randomly and killed me in three or four shots from any distance. Ridiculous. This is one of the worst shooters I've ever played. Please save your money and go buy the entire Redneck Rampage Collection that is available this Tuesday here at GoG! Anything is better than this, folks. Go play Half-Life, Doom, Quake, Blood, Dark Forces, Rise of the Triad, Heretic/Hexen, Duke Nukem 3D, even SiN is better than this. Do you already have one or more of those? Go play them again, and save your money. No wonder Xatrix ceased to exist when this shipped. I'd want to go into hiding too if I was in the credits of this abortion. As much as I love Redneck Rampage, they really dropped the ball here. Utterly terrible. You've been warned.
